Sorry to hear about Hubs, Gams. A co-worker's hubby, Phillip, had back surgery yesterday for 2 ruptured discs. And I hear that my favorite golfer, Annika Sorenstam, has some significant back troubles, including a ruptured disc, that have taken her out of the game. I'm hoping she, Phillip, and your sweetie, make complete recoveries.

Thanks, Siren. Keep me posted on Phillip's recovery? I'm sure Hubs will be interested; he's trying epidural injections first, as a last resort before having surgery.
And psst....you forgot to add a word to be defined.

My concern with the poison was not that you would be killing the moles but that you could be potentially killing the things that might eat the dead moles.
